Job description:
Aroha Pride Counselling is a queer and trans affirming counselling group practice that collectively works from an anti-racist, decolonial, and anti-oppressive perspective. Our clients represent people from all backgrounds and walks of life, and most are drawn to our specialization in queer and trans affirming mental health services. Aroha is seeking an independent contractor for a masters level registered social worker position providing mental health counselling services. Consideration will also be given to social workers currently pursuing an MSW program. Since our client base is primarily 2SLGBTQ+, the successful contractor will demonstrate knowledge of working with this demographic, as well as align with our anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and decolonial values in practice. Knowledge in these areas can be rooted in lived experience and/or formal training.
This position is fully remote and sessions are offered online only. The contractor must provide their own computer and workspace suitable for providing telehealth services and reliable internet connection. The successful contractor will have the flexibility to set their own hours and availability for client sessions. Our organization provides client referrals, full administrative support, access to privacy compliant online platforms for session booking and case management, and clinical supervision opportunities. While there is regularly a waitlist, there is not a guaranteed caseload.
Requirements:
- Must have an MSW or nearing completion of an MSW, and demonstrate training in at least one evidence-based psychotherapeutic framework
- Must demonstrate a strong cultural and political awareness of 2SLGBTQ+ experiences
- Must demonstrate a strong understanding of anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and decolonial considerations in counselling
- Must be located in Canada
- Must be licensed/registered and in good standing with at least one Canadian social work college/association, and permitted by the college/association to engage in private practice
- Preference will be given to those with 2 or more years of clinical counselling experience
Please submit a cover letter and resume as attachment by email to jobs@aroha.ca with attention to Emily Ritenburg by June 30th, 2024. Cover letter must identify knowledge related to working with 2SLGBTQ+ populations and your connection to our shared practice values or application will be disregarded. Special consideration will be given to applicants who hold marginalized identities and/or experience employment barriers.
